You have the friend that makes you laugh, the friend that gives you a shoulder to cry on, the friend with the best advice, you have all sorts of friends you can count on! Celebrate these important women in your life this month.

Take this time to let your friends know how special they are to you, just like you are to them! It can be difficult to get everyone together these days, but a lot can be said in a quick phone call or over a cup of coffee. Friends are important, so don't forget to let them know that.

Here are 25 ways to make yourself a keeper:

25 Ways to Make Yourself a Keeper

If you make a promise, live up to that promise.

Be punctual, dependable, and reliable.

Show up when she needs you.

Be yourself. Who else can you be?

Accept that you are human and make mistakes. Apologize if you have said or done something wrong.

Accept that she is human and may make mistakes. Offer forgiveness.

Try not to moan too much.

Don’t be guilty of giving out too much information (TMI) about yourself too soon.

Be loyal and trustworthy. Resist the urge to gossip or spread rumors about your friend.

Be a good listener, tune in to what your friend is saying, and try not to interrupt.

Let your friend know you are interested in her and make sure everything isn’t about you.

Give her enough space so she doesn’t feel boxed in.

Accept that you won’t always be on the same page because you are two different people.

Be willing to make sacrifices and compromise.

Be a comfort blanket but don’t smother her.

Remember if she detests olives in her salad or anchovies on her pizza.

Resist saying “I told you so” even if you did.

If she has three sick kids, offer to help out.

Don’t sleep with her boyfriend or be overly flirtatious with her husband.

Share her successes and find ways to celebrate them.

Don’t brag too much when she’s feeling down.

Don’t let too much time elapse between get-togethers.

Don’t be shy about letting her know when her behavior is endangering her health or is likely to have other adverse consequences.

Don’t harp and constantly remind her of her bad habits.

Let her know how much you value her friendship.

This month is your excuse to make time in your busy schedule to hang out with your BFFs.

What are your favorite things to do with your friends? Any creative ideas?

Strengthen your relationships this September! It is One on One Month... a time to get to know your coworkers, friends, and family a little better. But don't do this at a party or in a crowd full of people...this September, get to know people by meeting with them one on one.

One on One Month brings recognition to the importance of creating interpersonal relationships. The best way to develop these relationships is by having face to face interaction with another individual. Meeting one on one with someone can help you learn more about a person than you would in groups of people or over the internet. It is the one on one connection that makes the relationship closer and intimate.

To get you started, below is a list of meeting places you can invite someone to meet one on one:

Coffee shop

Park

Waterfront

Go out for lunch/dinner

So go out there and get to know others by meeting one on one! Create strong, important relationships.

Grab some coffee or go on a bike ride! What are some ideas of things you can do to get to know people better this month?
